Been getting sick more often this year...

Is it just me or is everyone getting these nasty viruses going around...I've been sick atleast 3 times already this year (2 stomach viruses, and one just a flu) But what is it about this year...I've notice many people in the gym more sick this year...I didnt get sick once when I was getting ready for Nationals, and that was on a low calorie diet...When you would think my immune system was weaker...but since the first of the year, when all these viruses started coming around I've been sick way more that normal...

So my questions are, have you guys notice this at your gym or hometown...and what supplements or meds you take not to get these viruses...???

Could be coincidence but whenever the tyson plant burns its crap into town I usually get sick within two days or my girlfriend brings the sickness to me.

I got sinus problems right now but i havent been sick sick that much. I dont get virus's much just the normal sinus problem from temperature swings.

There have been some really bad cold viruses going around. The last one even got me for a couple of weeks, and I'm just now suffering out the tail end of it. This one caused a bacterial infection in the sinuses soon after which is why it was so bad. As soon as I felt it coming on I was taking Airborne, etc. Wife had to get some anti-biotics.

I noticed last year, I got sick a lot, and I didn't think it was a coincidence that it all centered around the time my doc made me come off HRT for a month. I was off cycle as well since I was going to have to do blood tests. I was sick during that month and about another four times after that in subsequent months with a lowered dosage. It wasn't until I saw that doc in SF that I got my dosage back up since he agreed I needed to be on the higher dosage. Since then I hadn't been sick at all until this nasty cold.

I've been sick more often this year too. Actually last year sucked as well. Seems like I'm averaging about 3-4 colds a year. I don't think I ever get the flu though

BOIRON Coldcalm - I swear by this shit + Airborne.

Dante founder of DC training is a big fan of Olive Leaf extract last I heard for immune system function, especially if you get colds a lot.

d3 ?

everone around me is very sick and im not. i take coq10, calcium, vit c 2000mg, garlic, vit e, vit a+d combo, and fish oil 3 times a day. this may seem like alot maybe but it is working because my kids are sick and my girl too

I meet lots of people everyday and yes its all around.
I have been on the verge of getting sick a few times already- Ester-C and Theraflu have helped.
Chris, did you get a flu shot this year? (Not that H1N1 crap just the regular flu shot).

Ive actually been less sick this year than previous years....I usually get fairly sick twice a winter, this winter havent been sick once...I did have a slight sinus congestion issue but a claritin cleared that up...Hope you feel better!

after i posted to this thread i got sick. real sick doo doo puke, then chest congestion like bronchitis. This sucks cause i stayed off for 5 and a half months and just started my fourth week of 500mg test 400mg eq 50mg dbol cycle. I think this thread is cursed although as long as im not doo dooin or puking im cool. i am stating to feel better and hope to train again tomorrow after being bedridden for 3 days

Oddly enough.. i don't really take anything special.. but.. i don't get sick. Aside from a cold once in a blue moon.. FLU's... almost NEVER.. Sucks to hear guys !!
